Can a Thread just disappear?
« on: April 26, 2005, 03:39:40 pm »
I swear I was looking at a thread this morning and when I came back it just vanished.  Not moved, not post hell - just gone.  Am I crazy?  and can this really happen.  :)

I've seen threads before that looked like they were headed to post hell and just dissapear. Its usually when something really bad happens. then it gets moved by those we don't speak of.

It was the bush coming out thread wasn't it.

Also, I believe the original poster can delete a thread and all replies and no reference to it will appear.

That's not accurate.  The board has been set up to prevent that.

I thought the poster could only delete the thread if there were no post in it............

I know they can lock it anytime.......

Okay, that may be correct then.  I hope that the board is set up the way you suggest.
